ALPE D’HUEZ

On July 18, 2013, celebrating the centenary of the most important cycling competition in the world, Le Tour de France, the well known peak of Alpe d’Huez was climbed twice consecutively for the first time.

A week later, avoiding the avalanche of fans, campervans, noise and all the epic surrounding this sport, I developed a brief photographic project where landscape and silence sits opposit to the classical tv images where exhausted road racing cyclists struggle to make their way through the crowd.

There, where for an hour was the spotlight of everything, only those road messages remain quiet and silent as timeless witnesses.
